My starter is out.
I tapped on it a few times and got it to start but I will need to replace ASAP and I want to replace it myself.
I guess my question is how difficult is it/what's the best and easiest way to go about it?
2002 Firehawk, the 5.7 V8. Thanks in advance for help!!

Buy your self one of them Haynes manuals and you'll be set, you get either download it or buy one at your local auto parts store. they usually have them on the rack

If its the same setup as a 3rd gen, its pretty easy. Remove the solenoid first , and then the starter will have enough room to be maneuvered out.

its two bolts to drop the starter down, then disconnect the wires from it. Make sure you disconnect the negative battery cable first.

No need to remove the solenoid on a fourth-gen. As already mentioned, remove the two bolts (two different lengths) and then it can be wiggled out to unhook the wires.
